Strategies, Dispositions and Resources in Multi-Level Resilience Processes

  • First Online:
Strategies, Dispositions and Resources of Social Resilience

Abstract

The concept of resilience has recently been discussed as a new approach to the analysis of nonlinear social processes (see Endreß 2015b; Endreß and Rampp 2014, 2015, 2020; Rampp et al. 2019). In this discussion, the potential of better understanding processes which dialectically connect phenomena of continuity and discontinuity has been emphasised. That is, the concept of resilience has been identified as an innovative approach to understand not only, how ‘social units’ – be they individuals, groups, or societies – endure although they experience (disruptive) change, but as well, how they persist because of it.
